Exclusive | Politics at the Met Gala: Brad Lander appears to court big mayoral endorsement with daughter's union-logo jacket
Briefly

At the recent Met Gala, Rosa Lander made a significant fashion statement by wearing a black blazer with the AFL-CIO union logo. This was not simply a fashion choice; it also highlighted her father, Brad Lander's political aspirations as he seeks union support in his Democratic mayoral campaign amid declining support. Analysts suggest this move demonstrates Lander's need to reconnect with labor groups, especially as his campaign faces competition from other candidates like Zohran Mamdani, who has garnered leftist support.
Rosa Lander's bold statement at the Met Gala highlights the intersection of fashion and political endorsement, as she represents a significant union's support.
Political analyst Hank Sheinkopf noted Lander's urgent need for union backing, stating, 'At this point he'll take anybody he can get to endorse him.'
